An aerated lagoon (a sewage treatment pond that is mixed with air) is being proposed for a small lake com- munity in northern Wisconsin. The lagoon must be designed for the summer population but will operate year-round. The winter population is about half of the summer population. Based on these design assump- tions, the volume of the proposed lagoon is 3420 m³. The daily volume of sewage in the winter is estimated to be 300 m³. In January, the temperature of the lagoon drops to 0°C but it is not yet frozen. If the temperature of the wastewater flowing into the lagoon is 15°C, estimate the temperature of the lagoon at the end of a day. Assume the lagoon is completely mixed and that there are no losses to the atmosphere or the lagoon walls or floor. Also assume that the sewage has a density of 1000 kg m and a specific heat of 4.186 kJ kg K-¹

Q2: A municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges secondary effluent to a river. The worst condition occurs in the summer when the treated wastewater in summer is found to have a maximum flow rate of 10000 m³/day, a BODs of 30 mg/L, dissolved oxygen concentration of 1.5 mg/L and temperature of 25°C. At upstream of the disposal point the minimum flow in the stream is 0.65 m³/sec with BODs of 3.0 mg/L, dissolved oxygen concentration of 7.0 mg/L and temperature of 22°C. The mixing of wastewater and stream is almost instantaneous at the point of disposal and velocity of the mixture is 0.2 m/sec. The reaeration constant is estimated to be 0.4 per day at 20°C the dissolved oxygen sag curve a (100-km) (D20,40,50,75,100) temperature. Determine and sketch reach of the stream below the discharge?.

The treated domestic sewage of a town is to be discharged in the natural stream in which minimum flow is equal to 0.14 m³/s. The BOD in the stream on the upstream side is 3 mg/L. The treatment plant receives the waste water from a town with a population of 60000 persons with a dry weather flow of ( 153 liters/capita/day. Assume per capita BOD contribution as 0.07 kg/day. a) Determine the percentage of the purification required in the treatment plant if the permissible BOD on the downstream side of the stream is 5 mg/L. b) Draw a labeled diagram to show the process of self-purification of the natural stream if it receives the treated effluent.
A small town has been directed to upgrade its primary wastewater treatment plant to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25.0 mg/L BOD5 and 30.0 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge system. The following data are available from the existing primary plant. Existing plant effluent characteristics: Flow = 0.2000 m3 /s soluble BOD5 = 80 mg/L Assume that the BOD5 of the suspended solids may be estimated as equal to 50% of the suspended solids concentration, the microorganism concentration in the aeration tank (MLVSS) is 2000 mg/L, and the net activated sludge produced is 400.0 kg/d; also assume the following values for the growth constants: bacterial decay rate = 0.10 day-1 , yield coefficient = 0.60 mgVSS ∙ mg-1 BOD5 removed, maximum specific growth rate constant = 2.50 day-1 , and half saturation constant = 100 mg/L.
